Energy efficient building

ESIF uniquely merges three very specialized components: an ultra-energy-efficient workplace that consumes 74% less energy than the national average for office buildings, one of the world’s most energy-efficient, high performance computing data centers, and sophisticated high-bay laboratory spaces with outdoor test areas.
